BREAKING BOUNDARIES: EXPLORING BEYOND OPERATOR-PRECEDENCE GRAMMARS AND LANGUAGES
Matteo Romano , Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering, Polytechnic of Milan, ItalyAbstract
This survey paper delves into the realm of beyond operator-precedence grammars and languages, exploring novel approaches, advancements, and future directions in this domain. Operator-precedence grammars have long been fundamental in parsing techniques, particularly in the context of programming languages. However, with the evolving landscape of computing paradigms and language design, there arises a need to extend beyond the confines of traditional operator-precedence grammars. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of alternative grammatical frameworks, parsing algorithms, and language constructs that transcend the limitations of operator-precedence parsing. By examining recent research developments and emerging trends, this paper sheds light on the diverse array of approaches to language specification and parsing, opening avenues for innovation and exploration in language design and implementation.
